Many products today whether they be promotional or otherwise are very ordinary, run of the mill, and plain average in terms of both their benefits and overall performance. But then there are those special ones that continue to rise above the rest and consistently outperform all of the other competitors. These products are what some in our pop culture would call: the super stars. Well the same is true to some extent with promotional products. Yes, this may come as news to some but all promotional products are not created equal. In fact, there are some promotional products that have super star attributes that simply blow the rest away. These super promotional products are not all in the same category but the main attribute that they all have is what I call the " multiplier effect".
Well you ask what the heck is the multiplier effect? Simply put it is the ability of that promotional product to keep on promoting to keep on giving off advertising impressions to more people than jus

Let's face it; taking care of our environment should be a top
priority in all of our lives, however taking care of your own health
should come first. I recently discovered a great new way to balance both

you also know that the average person spends over $1500 a year on
bottled water? Now that's a lot of money. If you start using a stainless
steel water bottle instead of plastic, all of those worries go out the
window.
If you're an active, on the go person, staying hydrated
should be of the utmost importance. It's recommended that adults drink
64 ounces of water per day. This means that you need to have water with
you just about wherever you go. In the car, at work, at the gym, you
need water. Normally most of us just buy bottled water

You are probably wondering how promotional water bottles became
an advertising item. Whoever had this idea; it is definitely a
magnificent one. But if you are wondering how these water bottles can
promote your products, it is clearly simple. Many people would have
these water bottles when they go out to travel or wherever they may be
headed to. Just imagine the places these things could go, as well as the
product that they are promoting.
When to Give Them
Water
bottles are not just popular to travelers, nor are they only suitable
during the summer when we always remember to drink water because of the
hot climate. The truth is that these promotional water bottles are not
exclusive for any particular season. There should not be any
restrictions when your main concern is to advertise the company or the
product. What is more important is that you know how to strategize your
use of these promotional water bottles to ensure that the company

In the Internet age, it's easy to find Chinese suppliers for your import business. Business-to-business websites such as Alibaba.com, sz-wholesale.com, okokchina.com PromosMall.com. let you search for items you're interested in buying, or you can post a purchase request. If you find a suitable Chinese vendor, you begin negotiating. Finding a supplier is no guarantee of success, though. You have to check for quality, negotiate prices and be careful that everything you import conforms to U.S. law.
Verify Everything
Even if the supplier you found online looks like a perfect fit, that doesn't guarantee he's legitimate. Run a background check to confirm his company exists.
